Why Martin Brodeur ranks #6 in Ice Hockey

Martin Brodeur ranks 6th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 145th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 88, Longevity 96, Honours 88, Statistics 94. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 395 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1991–2015 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2006, which sets the Peak component at 88. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career wins 691, shutouts 125, stanley cups 3, vezina trophies 4.

Immediately ahead sits Alexander Ovechkin on 91.2, a gap of 1.2 points. Directly behind is Ray Bourque on 89.3. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
